Early departures 2017

Recommended Posts

Brock is a great talent, and played a huge role on last year's team. That being said, it was definitely time for him to go. He clearly wasn't as motivated this year as last year so perhaps he needs a new challenge. Jost, Poolman, and Boesser will all get a chance in the NHL. Jost and Poolman will stay there.

Offensively yes, probably top 3. Defensively as normal, not even close.

He's an offensive defensemen...that's how they play. Go check out a senators game sometime. All I have to say is that I'm glad he's on our side. Hopefully he stays. Would be a super important junior next year (even with his 1-2 bad pinches a game ). Kids a game changer. Without his style of play that 3rd goal never happens.

He was the best player on the ice yesterday....other than maybe Keller I guess.

Not sure what game you were watching, but 24 was responsible for the first and third goal for BU. he did get us one back. Defensively he is very very average and will not sniff the NHL as a d-man for a long time. I think he would make a great wing on a checking line. In his own zone he sends weak passes out front, looks nervous. In the O-zone he is crisp with passes and has a rocket of a shot. I don't get it but he was far from the best player on the ice, hope the kid sticks around and improves because he has the tools.

If a D-man gets caught below the red line in the offensive zone as the puck breaks out going the other way you're screwed. That happened on goals 1 and 3.

Top prospects come to UND because we can get them to the next level. We should not be upset when a player leaves early to play professional hockey. It what makes our program great.

Bingo...plus we have a nice pipeline. Our team was young this year. I really liked how our D came along. Peski was a man yesterday...and some on here reached to criticize this kid at every chance earlier in the year (as a frosh). As long as we don't lose guys like jost and pogo we should be very good. If we do I still think the team will be ok by the end of the year.
